Why are you all revealing what USCC is doing way before we do it? All a competitor has to do is read this forum and they can see everything that USCC is trying to accomplish strategically. Jack Rooney sent out an e-mail about a month ago concerning stuff like this and yet folks are still posting information that is supposed to be kept confidental and internally until launch date. I doubt the SEC appreciates this kind of stuff being leaked either.

I've appreciated this forum for a long while, but the amount of information that is given out way ahead of time is crazy.

Back in the early 90s, I was an Ameritech Cellular customer. These were the days of installed 3-watt analog phones, and only two carriers in each market. I did a lot of driving around the midwest, and quickly learned to avoid United States Cellular. At the time, they were well-known as roamer-gougers. They had mostly rural systems, and it seemed as if they made most of their money by soaking people passing through. If I remember correctly, I was charged $1.99/minute in addition to a $1.99 "call setup charge" near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. There was no such thing as a "national plan" at the time. The simple solution was to force the phone to call out on the A side, and get picked up by Centel or Cellular One, etc. at a much lower rate. I re...

TDS: Shares rise on buzz of U.S. Cellular deal

Bloomberg News
Published March 23, 2005


Shares of Telephone & Data Systems Inc., the Chicago-based operator of wireless carrier U.S. Cellular Corp., continued their climb Tuesday and have risen 7.1 percent this year.

TDS stock, which added 52 cents Tuesday, to $82.85, on the American Stock Exchange, has rallied on speculation that U.S. Cellular would be purchased. TDS owns about 82 percent of the company.

TDS has posted the best performance this year among the 15 stocks in a Standard & Poor's index of phone-service firms. Cincinnati Bell Inc., formerly known as Broadwing Inc., is the only other member of the group to advance, gaining 0.5 percent....

the rumor-mill is heating up with a possible merger of these three companies. I mean its inevitable that u.s. cell would either merge or get swallowed up by verizon soon anyway!! 😳

This new list of phones we're going to start carrying I can't even find half of them.
LG VX-4750
LG LX-4270
LG AX-5000
Audiovox CDM 180
Anyone have pics or info?

*USCC is looking to "possibly" release a Smartphone such as a Treo or Blackberry by mid-year.

*USCC is currently testing Push-2-Talk with a "possible" release by mid-year.

Ok, now we've seen it. The question becomes does it have PTT? It doesn't look like it, so what is the second PTT phone(if any) that USCC is going to launch with its PTT service?

Im trying to use easy edge to download a few games onto my phone since they didnt feel like putting any on the v710 to begin with, but i have a problem. Every time i try to connect to easy edge it comes up with a message that says "Unable to retrieve catalog. Please try again later. (534)" I was wondering if there were any settings that could be wrong but i know that it works in this area because my mothers SoHo works fine with it

thanks in advance for any help

does anyone have any idea? i have a loner phone right now and im waiting for this phone to come out.
please let me know.

If USCC gets in the Nokia 6255i soon, I'll be added to "The Team".

On the kyocera wireless website if u select Help me choose a phone and select us cellular as ur provider it will show the kx440. I guess this hints the phone us cellular is releasing when they launch ptt. Well atleast its not a bad phone for ptt.

Amen Gandalf1, I'm in the same boat as you. Gonna wait 'til the E815 comes ouy b4 I switch to USC.

When is it coming out for the 8900???


I gotta keep in touch with the ladies you know 😎

When is USCC going to come out with a smart phone or even a palm. The service is great but they are way behind with their phones.

after a year of being told that i was to be stuck with polyphonics till i got a new phone, i found quite by accident that REALTONE JUKEBOX is available for the lg 4400!! i now have the ringtone i always wanted (highway to hell)and a coupla more...and it is actually pretty loud...tell all yer freinds and 4400ers... 😈

I was looking at the Central Region calling plans for Wisconsin and clicked on the coverage maps. How long have they been offering all of northern Indiana as home area in the local calling plans? Not just the little strip going from Chicago to Ft Wayne along US 30, but the whole northern part of the state now. Same thing in Oklahoma, they show about 90% of the state covered as local. Before it was just bits and pieces around Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Just wondering....

Does anyone know if the phone number email with uscc works while roaming or do I have to be in the network area?

I have used US Cellular for two years as a work phone, but live outside of their calling area. Does anyone know if US Cellular plans to expand to west central Oklahoma? They cover central, southwest, and southeast oklahoma already and there are quite a few people very unhappy with the local carrier in the west central region of oklahoma. I would love to have US Cellular as a personal cellular provider as well as a business provider.

Everyone! I love how Nextel does the Push-to-Talk thing. Has anyone heard of USC starting anything like that?
